Fluoroscopy procedures can expose patients and personnel to high levels of radiation, an area of public and regulatory concern. Radiologic technologists, radiologist assistants and other professionals operating fluoroscopic units or assisting in fluoroscopy procedures are legally and ethically responsible for operating equipment safely and taking proper radiation protection measures. One way of fulfilling this responsibility is to understand the federal and state regulations regarding fluoroscopy and to follow practices that reduce radiation exposure during medical imaging procedures.
In addition to describing various international groups and federal agencies that have a hand in developing radiation protection standards, Marlene Johnson, M.Ed., R.T.(R), unravels the federal laws and regulations governing fluoroscopy and radiation protection. Approved for 1.5 Category A+ CE credits by the ASRT.

Canon Medical Systems is committed to help the operator manage and reduce dose during diagnostic and interventional procedures. This course will outline specific information on the safe and effective use of your Canon Medical System’s Infinix-i Angiography system. The information provided during this course will make the operator more aware of the potential risks of using ionizing radiation during angiography procedures and he/she will receive specific information to aid in dose reduction to both the patient and the operator. The course will discuss radiation dose optimization techniques and tools and the available dose control and monitoring technologies.

This course will outline the imaging technique to obtain real-time moving images of the internal structures of a patient through the use of a fluoroscope. Modern fluoroscopes couple the screen to an x-ray image intensifier and CCD video camera allowing the images to be recorded and played on a monitor The modules in this training are: Introduction to Fluoroscopy \Fluoroscopic Components Image Quality Fluoro Viewing Systems, Recording, Radiation Protection Summary.
